Cupcake Card

Check out this cupcake card that my Mom made me for my birthday. I am totally lovin’ the idea of using the chandelier stamp as a cupcake stand.  She’s so creative!

Everyday Wreath- Hello Southern Living!

I finally had a chance to make an everyday wreath for my front door.  I know most people probably think of this as a “fall” wreath but King and I like dark traditional colors when it comes to decorating our house.   I am not sure if I want to make a wreath for every single season- I don’t think I have that much space to store a million wreaths.  The pheasant feathers really fit our personality; I think of them as fun and funky, and King probably thinks of hunting them.  This is one of the best wreaths that I have ever done.  I am pretty sure that Southern Living would want to come to my house and photograph it .  . . just saying.   Or Sonya over at Beyond the Screen Door would want to come take it off my door.

   

  

This half moon window really bothers me.

I need some vinyl on my door too! I am eventually

going to order some from Shannon over

at Swainston Vinyl and Design.  She has already completed

one order for me- Oh how I can’t wait to show it off!

Scrapping 2010 #6

Still working on the 2010 scrapbook . .  . Oh is it ever going to be done?!   I really enjoy scrappin’ but there are so many other things that I want to make and I feel behind on this book.  A few more pages and then I have to get some more pictures developed; therefore, I will have a good reason to take a break and get some other things completed.  I have quite a few Easter ideas running through my head and I’ve been working on some stuff for my Etsy shop!  I am taking the plunge with Etsy! It should be up and running by Monday!

King and I.  I totally wish that beer bottle wasn’t in the picture. 

Makes us look like a bunch of boozers. LOL

This is King’s brother.  I caught this picture of him when he wasn’t looking.

He must have been trying to impress some girl- Trying to look “cool”.

King and his friend at their other friend’s wedding.  Oh I love how the red looks

with the black especially on the cowboy hats.  The couple was married at

Christmas time.  Everything was so festive.

I Am A Redneck : Using Vinyl

While I was scrapping, I had the Cricut out and I decided to get out some vinyl to whip up a quick project that has been on my to do list for while now.  I am a crazy dog lady;  have two silly English Bull Terriers and one tiny Chi-Wow-Wow.  All three of them have a kennel and since their Mom is a crazy “crafty” dog lady, they must have jazzy dog name plates for their kennels.  I used paper and vinyl on pieces of wood that I purchased at HL, and zip tied them to the kennel . . . Kinda redneck, but keep scrolling down . . . 

I can’t believe I actually did this.  I had new pack of lighters laying on my craft table and was getting ideas on vinyl. {Yes, I am a smoker… don’t judge! LOL}  Put the two together and you get super snazzy lighters! I even added some rhinestones!  I know, I am wack otherwise known as, super redneck!   The last one is an English Bull Terrier!

Scrapping 2010 #5

Still scrappin’ on … Actually I am sewing this weekend with Mrs. D. But here are a few layouts that I completed for 2010.  I am determined to get year 2010 over with.  I hate feeling behind.

This was my first layout ever using the “round” paper. 

It was challenging but fun. 

The two people in the picture are my Mom and Dad. 

I {heart} these two people.  They are amazing.

My dog, Ginger.  I hardly ever get a good picture of her because usually

she ends up with red eye.  I was stoked when I captured this picture outdoors. 

She really is tiny, only weighing about 3 lbs.  I am totally lovin’ my

Sure Cuts A Lot program- that is how I cut out the paw prints.

Mrs. M’s baby shower!  The best shower I have ever thrown.

Check it out {HERE}.

Scrapping 2010 #4

Oh how I love to scrap holidays.  Halloween was especially fun this year.  Thank goodness Mrs. Rooster has two kids because she always lets me participate.  I did here oldest daughter’s hair and make up for his vampire costume.  Not to brag, but she was the best dresses vampire in the neighborhood.

I am surprised at the amount of good pictures that King & I have taken this year.

Pin Cushion Frames

Mrs. D, her Mom and I are getting together for a sewing marathon weekend!  Yay!  I am super excited.  This was the perfect opportunity to make a few {THESE}!!  Nichelle at {Vintage Wanna Bee} was sure thinking outside of the box when she came up with this pin cushion.  I made three of them for us girls.  Mine is going to look fabulous on that new shelf that I am putting in the craft room.

Scrapping 2010 #3

I knew this picture was going to be a scrapper.  King and Slayden sitting around the campfire in Montana.  They looked so stinkin’ cute in their Carhart jackets.  Slayden thinks King (aka Lunchbox) is the shizznit.  Slayden is a smart kid, I kinda think King is the shizznit too!

I am pretty proud of myself on this page . . . broke out the burlap to for added texture.

I am quite certain this is the best picture that King and I took in 2010.
